Gavin Turk


On This Day, the first steam train set off, the Communist Manifesto and the first phone book were both published, Churchill abolished ID cards, DNA was mapped and the first convention of psychotropic substances was held. Young British Artist Gavin Turk talks about his House of Fairytales project, which encourages children and families to think creatively. Recalling an artwork he made from crushed Coke cans, he expresses an interest in the connection between art, rubbish and value; pointing out that rarity and nostalgia can make even little things like ringpulls and chip forks valuable. Miranda July performs her short story The Boy from Lam Kien, about an agoraphobic's encounter with her neighbour's son. Birthdays: Johnny Eccles and Jerry Harrison. Valete: Malcolm X (he rails against Uncle Toms). Jarvis also pays tribute to his close friend Tim.
